Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

The journey so far: Flashbacks

Dianne's POV:

Annnnd its back again! Today is the day where training for Strictly 2019 officially begins and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it all...last year was such a special experience and i'm just not sure how this year could ever top that. There are so many special feelings, special milestones and memories attached to Strictly 2018 but i've got to welcome 2019 with fresh eyes and approach it as a new adventure. I'm quite excited about my new partner actually, I do see a lot of potential in him and I actually think we might be able to go far in this series! I'm excited...but...he isn't Joe either. I'll miss dancing with my little Joseph every week.

Our little lunch dates.

Our training sessions.

Our inside jokes.

Stop Dianne. New year, new season, new partner. Glancing over at my sleepy boyfriend, who is currently wrapped around me like a koala, snoring ever so lightly as he unknowingly nuzzles closer to me. Our strictly journey will always hold a special place in my heart...I still remember exactly how I felt this time last year...

*Flashback*

Waking up beside my boyfriend of nearly ten months, I slip out of his iron grasp, desperate to keep him asleep while I get ready to go to training with my new partner. Getting dressed in the dark, I pull on the first set of gym clothes I can find, press a half hearted kiss to his temple and slip out of my bedroom silently to make coffee and head off to meet Joe at the studio. I'm not sure he is serious about this or if we will even get far but i'm sure it'll be fun anyway.

"What are you smiling at babe. Thought you'd leave without saying goodbye did you?" he smirks, pushing me against the bench, his hands resting just below my hips. Pulling out of his grip once again, splashing the almond milk messily into my travel mug and grabbing my keys, I head towards the door of my flat. "Will you be here when I get home or do you have to film? I finish at 9pm I think." Forcing a smile, I look back at my hunk of a boyfriend and feel...

nothing.

"No babe I TOLD you this! I'm needed on set for the next few weeks so if you want to see me, you have to actually make the effort to come to me. Do you EVER listen Dianne, I swear!" sighing in frustration, he storms out of the kitchen and back to my bedroom. "See you soon then, let me know when you're home. Love you babe." I shout, dashing out the door and down to my waiting car.

Setting up, Joe wanders into the studio looking like bambi on ice, bless him! "Morning Dianne, I brought you coffee because I figured you'll need it for teaching me...i'll apologise in advance." Hey hey! Already in my good books.

"Right, as soon as you have sorted your stuff out, we need you to go back outside and come in again and Reddo, can you say something witty before he comes in? I'll leave it to you to decide what you say." the producer smiles, heading back behind the camera to commence filming again.

"Coomeee in if you're good looking!"

"Ello!"

Dianne why on earth did you say that?! Of all the things I could say...I said that. Well there is another argument waiting to happen when this airs. In our break I check my phone and see the message ive been dreading, I sink down against the mirrored wall with my head in my hands when a soft voice interrupts my thoughts..." Di..Dianne? Are you okay? Do you...do you need anything? " He mutters, standing awkwardly infront of me as I gaze up at him, the tears already tripping down my face uncontrollably. Pulling me to my feet, he says nothing. He just wraps me in his arms and for one second...everything felt right.
